Deep Purple - Infinite Unlimited (Deluxe 2-CD) 2017 ak320

The month of April is upon us and  which new album you were most looking forward to picking up. In the end, it really came down to two albums vying the Release of the Month title with Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Deep Purple leading the voting with their new InFinite Unlimited album.

The legendary rockers have been through many different lineups over the years, but have settled into a solid combo with Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Steve Morse and Don Airey over the last five albums. Welcoming producer Bob Ezrin into the fold, the group set about the task of recording their latest effort. Ezrin stated in a preview video teasing the album that he was interested in capturing the band within their first few takes on a performance, making for music that was more in the moment. As for the approach, Ian Gillan states in another preview clip, “I used to be an angry young man… and now I’m fuckking furious again. It’s amazing.” Meanwhile, Roger Glover adds, “I think the character of the band has changed, but the spirit hasn’t.”

InFinite Unlimited is definitely a title that catches the eye
